The kit provides a simple way to make interactive prototypes that look like pages on GOV.UK. These prototypes can be used to show ideas to people you work with, and to do user research.

It's built on the Express framework, and uses these GOV.UK resources:

• GOV.UK template
• GOV.UK front end toolkit
• GOV.UK elements

You may already have it, try:

node --version

Your version needs to be at least v0.10.0.

If you don't have Node, download it here: http://nodejs.org/.

Install Node.js (see requirements)

git clone [email protected]:LandRegistry/digital-register-frontend-prototype.git

npm install

This will install folders containing programs described by the package.json file to a folder called node_modules.

node start.js

Go to localhost:3000 in your browser.

Any code changes should update in the browser without you restarting the app.

The app recompiles app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss everytime changes are observed.
